.SH DESCRIPTION
This will unconditionally remove any events from the queue that are in the
range of
.BR minType
to
.BR maxType
, inclusive\[char46] If you need to remove a single
event type, use

loop without calling this function\[char46]

This function only affects currently queued events\[char46] If you want to make
sure that all pending OS events are flushed, you can call

.BR SDL_PumpEvents
() on the main thread immediately before
the flush call\[char46]
